Didn’t look like any of the final games to be on Sky were confirmed, does that mean there will be none?

I messaged him recently. All good, just busy with family life

Why would the Glasgow derby be moved? The fixtures came out knowing what games were on Sky. I see Rangers have done their usual and begged for extra games and home games

Ha skint

ffs. I’m going to have to change my hotel and travel plans yet again if the game v Rangers is changed to the Sunday.

Why didn’t the beaks discuss with Strathclyde’s finest prior to issuing the list? Also haven’t Sky dictated a lot of who plays when?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dates are all set, Ginger.

They’ve confirmed what games are on Sky.

Jolly good. Appreciate the update

Good to hear. But he should probably stop shipping them over now.

I deffo think having Shankland would have won us another couple of points - but it was never going to happen.

Shankland doesnt fit what Clement is trying to do in terms of recruitment. Plus we already have four 'strikers' on the books. Unfortunately;

- Roofe is never fit enough to play more than 15 min
- Danilio is injured
- Dessers is generally comically bad with much fewer moments of excellence
- Silva isnt really a striker. Or a winger. Or a 10. But he is a fudball.

Hearts wanted £5m for Shankland and it is absolutely their perogative to value him at whatever they want.

But there was never any chance we were going to add a 28/29 year old striker with no pace to the squad for £5m in Jan.

Not after doing much the same with Dessers.

Did laugh on Monday when somebody posted that John Lennon would have been 83 today if Cyriel Dessers had been the shooter.

Predict a comfortable win for rangers tonight by a minimum of 2 goals. Pitch won’t make much of a noticeable difference. Probably a penalty for rangers somewhere with Dundee showing some lazy defending to concede.

That’s a dig at Dundee btw-not rangers.

I’d be surprised if we see Dundee put in a tackle tonight.

Agree that insofar as yes I think we will win tonight, would love to see a strong reactionary five/six goals, but don't expect any more than a 2-0 or 3-1

I'd expect Farmer Clement to terrify his players into producing a performance of hoofball tonight that's way above what we've seen recently.

Why would you think Rangers would get a penalty? The game hasn’t even started yet.

Rangers will get at least 10 corners tonight

I'm not a gambler so don't know if that is something you can bet on but I'd say it is a definite

Roofe and sima start

Butland, Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Sterling, Lundstram, Lawrence, Cantwell, Silva, Sima, Roofe.

Subs: McCrorie, Dessers, Matondo, Dowell, Davies, Barisic, King, Raskin, McCausland.

You guys getting a live thread going? I'm likely to lose interest after the first pen
